TERMINATION Janice Fukakusa NEXT MEETING OF THE BOARD – June 23, 2016 Page 2 Ryerson University President’s Update to the Board of Governors April 28, 2016 A note of thanks – Sincere thanks to the members of the Board of Governors for the experience of becoming Ryerson’s new president. The outpouring of support for our wonderful university, and engaged confidence in our future, has come from colleagues and communities near and far, and I am excited and proud to move forward with you on our ambitious agenda. Ryerson Benefactors – Thanks and appreciation are extended to supporters and partners who continue to help the university advance the quality of our student experience, teamwork and community building with their generosity and vision. Recent gifts and valued gestures include: Sarabjit (Sabi) Marwah was honoured by friends with a campaign to dedicate the top floor of the Student Learning Centre in his name that raised over $1,000,000 from forty donors; The Raymond Chang Foundation (Donette Chin‐Loy Chang, Brigette Chang‐Addorisio, Andrew Chang) has created two awards: $100,000 for The G. Raymond Chang Award in Continuing Education; and $150,000 for The G. Raymond Chang–Sheldon Levy Partnership Award for Zone Learning. The Liu Family (Salad King) is celebrating 25 years in business and a longstanding relationship with Ryerson by doubling the value of five international student awards, creating the Ernest and Linda Liu Ontario Graduate Scholarship, and expanding food and gift‐card sponsorships, for a total gift to Ryerson of over $150,000 in value. The Hispanic/Latino Student Awards Program has raised more than $100,000 from the community to improve access to postsecondary education and provide mentorship, career guidance, and entrepreneurial opportunities to students in financial need. Ram's Hockey Hall‐of‐Famer Don DesJardine (Business Administration ’63) has made a gift of $100,000 to create a student‐athlete award, support the “Adopt‐a‐Team” initiative, and name seats at the Mattamy Athletic Centre for himself and his 1963 teammates. Vivian Risi of Royal LePage made a $100,000 gift to support student‐athletes with financial need, community outreach to youth in priority neighbourhoods, and to help create exceptional development experiences for players on the Rams men’s soccer team. Following the visionary 2004 donation that built the green roof on the George and Helen Vari Engineering Building, Valerie and Andy Pringle are helping raise operating funds for Rye HomeGrown with events featuring a conversation about urban agriculture, dinner prepared by Ryerson’s executive chef, and a gift bag containing Rye HomeGrown produce in season. CUE 5th anniversary – The Ryerson Centre for Urban Energy held an open house on April 5th to celebrate five years of fulfilling its mission as a place where academics, innovators and industry come together to build a clean energy future. In the 2015 Annual Report entitled Energy meets 1 Page 3 sustainability, CUE academic director Bala Venkatesh recognizes founding partners Hydro One, the Ontario Power Authority (now part of the Independent Electricity System Operator), Toronto Hydro and Ryerson University, supporters and collaborators, and the 68 current researchers, staff, students, interns and volunteers – and summarizes a record of over $24 million in funding, 27 major research projects completed with another 18 currently in progress, as well as academic offerings including a Master’s Diploma in Energy and Innovation and a Postgraduate Certificate in Energy Management and Innovation. Recent highlights include the official opening of the $1 million Schneider Electric Smart Grid Laboratory in March 2015 by Energy Minister Bob Chiarelli; the pole‐top battery built and tested in the lab in partnership with Toronto Hydro and eCAMION, unveiled by Environment and Climate Change Minister Glen Murray; the CUE large battery project in partnership with Toronto Hydro and Electrovaya to improve reliability in Toronto’s downtown core; and $5 million for the NSERC Energy Storage Technology Network (NEST) announced by Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan, with Bala Venkatesh leading a team of 27 researchers from 15 universities to advance clean energy. TVOntario – On April 14th The Agenda with Steve Paikin brought together the four Toronto university presidents in a panel discussion entitled “Cities Within the City.” I was very pleased to engage with colleagues Sara Diamond (OCAD University), Meric Gertler (University of Toronto) and Mamdouh Shoukri (York University) on issues such as the student experience, transportation and commuting distance, tuition and part‐time jobs, as well as collaboration in research and humanitarian initiatives such as Lifeline Syria. It was wonderfully evident that the four presidents operate within a framework of collegiality and respect to advance city‐building and, as the program’s introduction said so well, “work together to improve the educational experiences of the more than 200,000 students, faculty, and staff they serve and employ.” Congratulations – Wendy Cukier, vice‐president, research and innovation, founder of the Diversity Institute, has won the 2016 Harry Jerome Award for Diversity presented by the Black Business and Professional Association (BBPA), for sustained ground‐breaking research, leadership and advocacy focusing not just on barriers, but on success stories and pathways to greatness. Dr. Ann Cavoukian, Executive Director, Ryerson Privacy and Big Data Institute, is the recipient of the 2016 IdentityNorth Founders Award in honour of her pioneering contribution to the public discourse around privacy, her leadership in Privacy by Design, and contributions foundational to the creation, growth and security of our digital economy. Madeleine Lefebvre, Ryerson Chief Librarian, was elected by the Global Council of the Online Computer Library Centre (OCLC) as a member of the organization’s Board of Trustees. OCLC is a global library cooperative with members in more than 100 countries providing shared technology services, research and community programs. General Counsel and Secretary of the Board of Governors Julia Shin Doi is the recipient of the 2016 Robert V.A. Jones Award from the Canadian Corporate Counsel Association (CCCA). The award is given to a member of the CCCA who exemplifies the highest standards of service, conduct and professionalism for corporate counsel. 2 Page 4 SLC Award – The Ryerson Student Learning Centre designed by Snøhetta with Zeidler Partnership Architects was among seven recipients of the 2016 American Institute of Architects (AIA) and American Library Association (ALA) Building Awards, recognizing excellence in the architectural design of libraries as the traditional role of libraries evolves. The citation called the SLC “a new campus landmark… inspired by the historical gathering spaces of the Stoas and Agoras in ancient Greece where learning was inherently social…with eight uniquely‐designed floors offering natural conditions for students to interact while also offering areas for controlled and introspective study. Most importantly, it encourages students to make the space their own.” from the Calendar March 18, 2016: I met with Mehrdad Hariri, CEO and president of the Canadian Science Policy Conference, to discuss priorities and government relations in national science policy. March 21, 2016: Tony Staffieri, CFO Rogers Communications, joined me for a tour of the Student Learning Centre and a visit to Ryerson. March 21, 2016: The Legal Innovation Zone hosted an event showcasing SAGE Canada as the recipient of support from the National Bank’s “One For Youth” program in promoting entrepreneurial spirit and projects among high school students. March 22, 2016: I was very proud to host a community event celebrating Ryerson as a Top GTA Employer and Top Diversity Employer, two distinctions that recognize the teamwork and inclusive culture of our university. March 22, 2016: The Ryerson Black Faculty and Staff Community Network presented “Learning Through the Lens: Representations of Race in the Black Star Collection” in conjunction with the Ryerson Image Centre; the presentation moved to the Student Learning Centre on March 23rd and the Mattamy Athletic Centre on March 24th, an exceptional show. March 23, 2016: The President’s Reception for Athletics celebrated the outstanding year of achievement by our student‐athletes and the many members of the supporting team. March 24, 2016: At the invitation of the Canadian Muslim Awards for Excellence (MAX), I was a guest speaker at the annual gala recognizing contributions to society by Muslims in Canada. March 28, 2016: I welcomed Maureen Mancuso, former Provost and Vice‐President (Academic) at the University of Guelph for a lunch meeting discussing university and system priorities. March 29, 2016: I met with Roger Martin, former dean of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto, and Academic Director of the Martin Prosperity Institute, to discuss strategies and ideas on innovation and competitiveness.

When the gravity of the COVID-19 pandemic became clear in March 2020, Canada, like many other nations, imposed strict “lockdown” measures on almost all sectors of society. Overnight, most Canadians became confined to their homes. Office buildings, malls, streets, public spaces and airports emptied. Only essential services, such as grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations, were allowed to operate under strict “physical distancing” conditions. As our understanding of SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) grew and lockdown measures persisted for several weeks and months, glaring inefficiencies in community design started to become unignorable. Our response to challenges that had previously been inadequately addressed - multimodal transportation, a high-quality public realm, age-friendly and accessible planning, for example - have now become essential precursors for the creation of a resilient post-pandemic world. Conversations on the future of cities have become commonplace in mainstream society, and some of the best and brightest minds in the planning profession have made valuable contributions to this discourse.
